We are
on a mission to connect Central Ohio communities with regional farmers and food producers in vibrant, inclusive marketplaces.
We believe
in deepening Central Ohio residents' connection to, and understanding of, the people and places that grow the food they eat. We work to educate our customers that what they choose to eat has a ripple effect, directly impacting their health, the production and protection of Ohio farmland, the regional economy, and our planet as a whole.
Strategic Plan
Our strategic plan is a crucial roadmap for sustainable growth, community engagement, and effective resource utilization in supporting local agriculture.
Supporting Producers
Common Greens provides a centralized operating structure to increase efficiency, consistency and impact for producers selling at our markets.
By handling the planning and logistics of market operations, our producers are free to focus on growing and producing the highest-quality local food for market.
Did you know that a 2021 report found that every $1 spent at the farmers market translates into $1.51 across the regional economy? We estimate that shoppers spent $1.98M at Common Greens markets last year, which equals an economic impact of $2.99M regionally!
Farmers markets are unique in that 100% of sales go directly to the producer, providing a valuable revenue stream that keeps Ohio farmland in sustainable production and small businesses afloat.
